Notes About Movie Recording

B Notes About Saving Images or MoviesThe indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

B Notes About Recorded Movies• When recording movies with f 720/30p or V 720/25p selected for Movie

options, the angle of view (the area captured in the recorded movie) is smaller than when taking still images.

• Optical zoom cannot be adjusted once movie recording begins.

• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. Subjects can be magnified up to 4× the digital zoom ratio that was applied before movie recording began.

• The sounds of zoom control operation, autofocus lens drive movement, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.

• Smear (A102) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with movies. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording movies is recommended.

• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

B Notes About Electronic VR During Movie RecordingWhen Electronic VR (A83) is set to On in the setup menu, the angle of view (the area captured in the recorded movie) is smaller than when taking still images.

B Notes About Autofocus for Movie RecordingAutofocus may not perform as expected (A42). Should this occur, try the following:

1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before starting movie recording.

2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and modify the composition.

Technical Notes

Notes About the Monitor• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision;

at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.

Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

Notes About SmearWhite or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form of partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images saved with the camera except in the cases of movies. When recording movies, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.

The BatteryPrecautions for Use• Note that the battery may become hot after use.• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C

(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.• If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell

coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.

• After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.

Charging the BatteryCheck the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. • Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to

95°F) before use.• A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or

completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC Adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).

• Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance.

• The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a malfunction.

103

Technical Notes

Carrying Spare BatteriesWhenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.

Using the Battery When ColdOn cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

Battery TerminalsDirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

Charging an Exhausted BatteryTurning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.

Storing the Battery• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is

not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete loss of function.

• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it to storage.

• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place. The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

Battery LifeA marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.

Recycling Used BatteriesReplace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

The Charging AC Adapter• The Charging AC Adapter EH-72P/EH-72PCH is for use only with compatible

devices. Do not use with another make or model of device.• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other

than Charging AC Adapter EH-72P/EH-72PCH or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

• The EH-72P/EH-72PCH is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.

Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again. Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%• Exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radiosFor storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (A102) in “Caring for the Product” (A101).

Cleaning and Storage

Lens

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

MonitorRemove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
